Toffee Toasted Pecans
What it is
These are whole pecan halves that have been coated in a sweet toffee glaze and then toasted. The toasting process brings out the natural nuttiness of the pecans, while the toffee coating adds a crisp, sugary shell. The result is a crunchy, sweet, and slightly buttery snack with the rich flavor of pecans.
